Pharmacy context
This community pharmacy is in the village of Stamford Bridge five miles east of York. The pharmacy’s main activities are dispensing NHS prescriptions and selling over-the-counter medicines. The pharmacy supplies several people with their medicines in multi-compartment compliance packs to help them take their medication. And it delivers medicines to several people’s homes. The pharmacy also provides the NHS Pharmacy First service. This was a reinspection following an inspection in September 2025 where the pharmacy did not meet Standard 4.3. This reinspection focused on this Standard which had previously not been met. The pharmacy has installed additional secure storage for higher-risk medicines. The pharmacy team routinely identify and clearly mark medicines that have an altered shelf-life once opened to ensure the medicine remains safe to use.
